My son's (9 years old) review of Nascar 2005: Chase for the Cup,
By MMJacks "MMJ" (Round Rock, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: NASCAR 2005 Chase For the Cup (Video Game)
My name is Lawson Jacks and I am 9 years old. I have been playing Nascar 2005 for about 7 months now. I got it for my good grades in 2nd grade. This game is the best Nascar game yet. I like that it has skill points that Nascar 2003 did not have. It has quick races; you get to pick custom settings with easy, medium and hard settings. It also has lightning challenges which are to get lots of skill points and make you a veteran. Then if you go to the legend levels, you begin to be a legend. It also has the Dodge speed zone where you can try to get your Nascar license and skill points to drive in the Nextel, Busch, Craftsman Truck series and Featherlite racing. Also it has 'season' mode where you can drive easy, medium or hard. Also you can drive a quick game for each season, like 5 or 10 laps. At the start you can race a Dodge Viper against Ryan Newman's Dodge Viper which is way cool. Overall, it is the greatest racing game ever. I can't wait to see what Nintendo does for Nascar 2006 for Game Cube! Lawson F. Jacks Round Rock, TX

A Kid's Review
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: NASCAR 2005 Chase For the Cup (Video Game)
I am a huge NASCAR fan. I follow all three major series and watch them on TV every week. I go to Nextel Cup races almost every year. And, to top it off, I play the video games non-stop (or so it seems.) I own NASCAR '99 for N64, NASCAR Thunder 2003 for GameCube and now 2005: Chase for the Cup. 2005 beats the others by a long shot. The variety of game modes and series is fantastic, as is the gameplay.
MODES The main mode of CFTC is its all-new Fight to the Top mode. In this mode, you can be either an owner or driver as you make your way from the lower divisions of NASCAR all the way to the Nextel Cup Series. You can receive contracts (even to the point of replacing Jeff Gordon as driver of the 24 car)and battle the best along the way. My brother is currently has a Fight to the Top going, and from what I can see, it's AWESOME! Another great mode is Chase for the Cup mode, where you pick your starting position in the Chase for the Nextel Cup and race the final 10 races of the season. I played this mode once, and, although it was pretty challenging, I won the championship! The final main mode is Race Now, or Single Race. This is the one that I play most often. SERIES Production Cars: In Production Car racing, you can choose from about 10 types of street cars to race on NASCAR tracks. With these cars, you race as Cup drivers. The only problem with the mode is that these cars are not very good on speedways- they are MUCH better on road courses. Modifieds: These cars have special offset wheels to improve cornering speeds. Problem: The only available drivers are made-up ones. Trucks: The slogan Tough Trucks, Tough Racing says it all. These babies are bad to the bone. Too bad there are several drivers missing. Where's Ted Musgrave or Dennis Setzer? Busch Series: This is the "minor leagues" of NASCAR racing. You race in cars that are pretty much identical to Cup cars, except they have less powerful engines. Only problem: 2004 series champion, Martin Truex Jr, is missing! Dang! Cup Series: This is it. The Cup Series. You're finally here. The most horsepower of anything in the game. The most adrenaline. The most everything. Yay! But how did they leave out 2004 Chase driver Jeremy Mayfield and veteran Ken Schrader? Aside from these missing drivers, Chase for the Cup is a fantastic racing game, guaranteed to provide countless hours of bumpin', rubbin', and bangin'. And, to all those who think that Pocono was left out, you're wrong! You have to UNLOCK it. Overall, an awesome game. I would highly recommend it to all hardcore NASCAR junkies.

Best Nascar Yet,
By america "starfox007" (america) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: NASCAR 2005 Chase For the Cup (Video Game)
About two years ago I purchased Nascar Thunder 2003 for the Gamecube and so you all know the Gamecube was the only new system I owned at the time. Now two years later EA has released yet another Nascar game. Since I missed Nascar Thunder 2004 not being on the Gamecube I was excited to get this one. Well now I own a PS2 and Xbox and reading reviews on IGN they said that the Xbox version was the best. Sorry myself I don't buy PS2 versions over the other two no matter what so it was either the Xbox or Gamecube version. Well I went out next day and rented it for the Xbox since my rental store doesn't carry Gamecube games. Awsome game amazing enough to the point of me buying it that night. Well I went to Walmart and they never got the Xbox version in so it was either the PS2 or Gamecube version. Well since I already said I never get PS2 games over Gamecube or Xbox versions I bought the Gamecube version. I again put her in and started making my way to the cup.
Nascar 2005 Chase For The Cup This is so diffrent compared to Nascar Thunder 2003. The graphics are alot better the sky and sunset effects are amazing coming around a corner, and overall polygon count is higher. The frame rates very solid and everythings more well setup. Instead Nascar 2005 has a story mode where you work your way from a rookie to a pro. You start right off first race, racing a Dodge Viper great start out my favorite car, and yourself also has a Viper to race. Well it's a very easy race and gets you started out beginning your career. Your agent gets you a job in Nascar featherlite Series which is just the beggining of what is to come. You race for a couple weeks making friends or enemies depending on how you race. After several races you'll be offered to race in the Nascar truck racing series which is alot of fun. Every week you have a schedule some featherlite mixed with truck racing some weeks it's just truck or featherlite so you know. Im far into the truck racing and thats as far as I've got next is the Nascar National series. So far im having alot of fun and to note there is no diffrence in graphics in my opinion since I played both versions and sound is the exact same. There is one diffrence though the Gamecube version has no online play which the Xbox and PS2 versions have. From what I have heard thouggh online with this game sucks so your not missing much. So if your looking for a great racing experience I'de say this is your best bet and probaly your only Nascar game that you'll ever get into this much. Im luvin it and hope you do to. 2115|R2MSQT86NUW0KI;2115|R1Z2OM7YSSMYTG;2115|R299HCOY94W6US;
